Jockey Brian Long - in Loving Memory

Jockey Brian Long died last week in Texas. He was a very special friend and dearly loved. He was Baptised in November, and these are some photo's of it, and of him. I miss you, dear friend.Its been almost a year now, my friend, and still, every night, if the telephone rings,I'd give anything just to talk to you one more time.I feel like you are with me all ways, but at the same time, so far away. I miss you, dear friend, and I think about you all the time. Smile for me from up there, kid. I'll know it's you ;-)
Hey Buddy, it's me. I can't believe two years have one, I miss you like it was only yesterday. I know you are up there smiling as you always did, so I just wanted to say hello, as I am sure you have always got your laptop on! I miss you, dear friend..........

Hey guy, yeah, its me. It has been three whole years now and it still feels like yesterday. Everytime my phone rings I think of you, and I smile. I miss you, buddy, but I guess that you know that.

Hey there Bud, Guess what? I was grooming that mare and I felt the foal kicking like crazy, he did not like it much, maybe he will have some of your spunk, huh? I just cannot believe its been almost three years. If God could ever grant me one wish, it would be to have a telephone up there in Heaven so I could talk to you again. Even if its only one time. I miss you, guy, ride on....

Hey there Buddy. I miss you so much, my friend. Well, the mare that I bred is in foal, so your name is going to live on, God willing it will have all the talent in the World. I have donated the procedes from the baby, either by sale or race earnings, to the Don MacBeth Foundation and Winners Foundation in your name, my dearest friend. Its a small thing, and I'd give anything if you'd just be here again. I know you are up there watching out for me, I wish i could just hear your voce one more time

Ok Bud, I know you heard me about breeding that mare in your name, since on April 5th she had TWIN colts!! I talked to your mom and we are trying to come up with a name or names for the boys, though I have been calling the smaller colt Bri just like I did you ;-) Scott calls him Brian, and he is so you! Very charismatic and outgoing. Unlike most new foals, he runs up to greet any and all who come near.,When I look at that foal, I feel so much closer to you.
